About

I work to commission and exhibition on large and small scale often using pewter sheet. It is my intention to create things sometimes functional or thought provoking, but always beautiful. I use resistant materials appropriate to the project.

On pewter, illumination animates the sensuous forms and mark-making and light appears on the surface fleetingly; often enhanced with gold leaf, it moves across textures and contours interpreting the fluid and delicate qualities seen in the natural world.

News

This year, 2017, I have had three commissions.
One, a ceramics trophy - based on the Celtic Stanwick Horse find in Yorkshire - interesting!
Most recently completed, a design for a Moor Otter (http://www.moorotter.co.uk) - See 'Peter of the Pewter Pelt'.
